About
Situated on one of Elstree’s most sought-after roads, this rare unmodernised four-bedroom detached family home presents an exceptional opportunity to create a truly outstanding residence in a prime location on The Rise.
Occupying a substantial plot, the property boasts a large mature south-facing rear garden, a generous driveway providing ample off-street parking, and a double garage.
Offering enormous scope for improvement and enlargement, the home has excellent potential for further extension and redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions and relevant consents.
The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance porch leading into a spacious hallway, setting the tone for the well-proportioned accommodation throughout.
To the front of the property is a versatile family room, ideal as a children’s playroom, home office or additional reception room.
The heart of the home is the expansive family living area, complemented by a large kitchen with dining space and sitting area, perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining.
Further benefits include a downstairs WC with shower facilities and a separate utility room.
The first floor features a generous landing area leading to a spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom.
There are three further well-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and additional storage cupboards.
